Thanks Yusaku, Do you mean that admin users CAN change passwords through the API in configs.sh? I couldn't find how to do that. None of the CONFIG_TYPE values seem relevant, they all deal directly with other Hadoop services.
I'm talking about this: <CONFIG_TYPE>: One of the various configuration types in Ambari. Ex:global, core-site, hdfs-site, mapred-queue-acls, etc. On Wed, Mar 5, 2014 at 11:11 AM, Yusaku Sako <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Alex, > > Ambari can be configured to use a built-in local user store (default) or > an external LDAP server (including ActiveDirectory), which can be managed > outside of Ambari. > Unfortunately the built-in user store is a bit simplistic in that only > Admins can change the password on behalf of the non-admin user as you > mentioned.
